TEL AVIV-After five elections in three and a half years, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has assembled a substantial coalition. On Nov. 1, Netanyahu's Likud garnered 32 seats, making it the largest party by far in the 120-member Knesset. Voters gave his bloc, the most right-wing in Israel's history, a relatively comfortable 64 seats. Negotiations with coalition members could lead to the swearing in of a new government any day now.
